Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Moisturizer — Fragrance-Free, Lightweight 72-Hour Hydration & Barrier Repair

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is a lightweight, daily face moisturizer that delivers long-lasting hydration and helps restore the skin's moisture barrier for a smoother, calmer complexion.

Built around 4.5% squalane and glacial glycoprotein, this fragrance-free formula nourishes and replenishes moisture for up to 72 hours while remaining suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Clinically tested to absorb easily and reinforce barrier strength, it provides deep layer hydration and a non-greasy finish that works under makeup or as a nightly restorative step.
